Subject: Fabric Author: sharing [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 15:55:56 05/25/09 Mon Author Host/IP: cache-dtc-ab14.proxy.aol.com/205.188.116.78 In reply to: Michele 's message, "Where to buy material??" on 20:11:23 05/23/09 Sat www.spandexhouse.com or www.spandexworld.com . You want jumbo lycra (superstretch) for the ww and either 4 way lycra or milliskin for the swimsuit. Milliskin is a little thicker than the regular lycra and a lot easier to work with but it isn't anywhere close to being as thick as the superstretch so it still looks good. A lot of Sandi Henry's solid color suits are milliskin. Buy cotton lycra for the swimsuit lining. Regular swimsuit lining is too thin for competition suits and a bugger to sew. Good luck.

The metallic image is usually just stamped on the fabric instead of woven in so if you use it on a part of the suit that needs to stretch the stamp or hollogram will crack when the fabric base stretches.
